Dear Mozilla // Firefox persons - you really know how to shoot yourself in the foot.... I am fed up having lost all bookmarks and not able to initiate anew despite intolerable checks for updates, restarts & reinstalls. Really pissed me off. Your "help" pages are grossly overpopulated with waffle and dead end links.

All but 2 of my previous saved windows have been lost. They are not recoverable or present when trying to use "Recently closed windows." How could this happen? More importantly, how can I recover them? They contain numerous tabs that will be impossible to recreate from memory.

lost data shockingly after deleting newly created profile

""What happened:"" Yesterday I updated Firefox to 151 and noticed a "Profile" feature for the first time. I created a new profile, then saw a small icon with the Firefox icon that bothered me and realized it belonged to the new profile. I thought that the newly created profile is safe to delete and has to data within, so I deleted it. After that, Firefox deleted all old data and created another new profile and I lost old bookmarks, passwords, and browsing history.

Note: no warning was showed before deleting the profile.

What I tried: 1. Checked about:profiles profiles: no old data. 2. Opened the profiles folder in C:\Users\[my account]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles: no old data found. I noticed one of the default profiles contains a places.sqlite file that’s about 2 years old: no old data, only default bookmarks are there. 3. Used Recuva to try to recover files — I recovered key4.db, login.db, and places.sqlite-shm but nothing useful so far. Environment/details: • Firefox version: 151 • OS: Windows 11 • No Firefox account Questions: • Is there any way to restore the old profile data from the files I recovered (key4.db, logins.json/login.db, places.sqlite-shm)? • Any other recovery steps I should try? • how to prevent the same thing in the future? Thanks

I had a power outage occur recently and when i booted my computer again I found that somehow my Firefox account was disconnected. All of my bookmarks and history gone, but things like accounts and site preferences were kept. The problem is that firefox is not saving my history and bookmarks cannot be made. I have checked common causes for this problems, like not activating sync and turning off "remember history", settings which were set up correctly.

I'm using firefox in ubuntu. A couple of minutes ago Firefox crashed. I restarted to a completely new Firefox. All my tabs, extensions, saved passwords, etc. were gone. This happened to me a few weeks ago. That time I found a solution: find a back-up of the old profile and manually restore it. I tried to reproduce that solution this time, only to find that there are no back-ups at all of my previous session. Is there a solution to this problem?
